It's long, but worth the read.

Some highlights

Second question: What is your economic plan mean to businesses and why shouldn’t we cut taxes?

Strickland: Strickland supports the recently passed Taft Tax reform! Then he goes off on “investing” again. grabbing my wallet. No gimmicks, just solid plans, and after I’m elected, I’ll tell you what the plans are.

...

Fifth question: how will low income Ohioans hold a Blackwell administration accountable for seeing the benefits of lower taxes? What a stupid and inane question.

Blackwell: We need lower taxes for economic growth.

Strickland: Rich guys don’t need tax cuts.

Blackwell: Rich guys can move to Florida or Texas if they don’t get them.

Sixth: How long will your plans take to make a difference?

Strickland: I don’t know but I’m going to tell every executive department to create jobs.

Blackwell: Well, he just ran away from the question.

Interesting.

Seems like the same recap they've had for all of the debates so far.

Blackwell and Strickland had agreed to stick to the economy for the debate. Blackwell spent the hour promoting his plans to cut taxes for businesses and a flat tax for individuals, while Strickland focused on education and help for businesses.

Blackwell said Strickland's programs are vague and remind him of Gilligan, a Cincinnati Democrat who as governor from 1971 to 1975 helped establish the state's first income tax.

"The last time a governor asked us for a blank check, we got Gilligan's Island," Blackwell said.

Blackwell argued that Strickland's focus on early education programs would not produce economic benefits for years.

"We know how to speak the language of business, we know how to get the economy growing right now, not a generation from now," Blackwell said.

Strickland called Blackwell's tax plan "a nutty idea" and said the comprehensive tax code changes the Legislature made last year need time to produce a revenue trend.

A Democrat in Columbiana County has filed documents with the Board of Elections asking that Ted's voter registration be rejected.

While this effort was not led by bloggers, it was us who did a lot of research back in August and built the case used now.

The press release is here.

Some thoughts from me (including my last post building the case myself) is here.

This story is huge. When have we had a candidate for Governor who couldn't vote for himself because of his previous voter fraud?

The democrats made voting and fraud an issue in this election and now it's the top of their ticket who has been voting illegally for two years. The irony is sweet.

The Ohio liberal is still a liberal, no matter what label the media wishes to place upon them and no matter the mantle of "non-partisanship" they try to hide behind.

The media loves to quote Herbert Asher, a member of the Ohio State University's Department of Political Science and more recently Daniel Tokaji, a member of the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, as "non-partisan" purveyors of the truth, not partisan demagogs.

And though they may not spill the day to day Democrat Party line, there is no doubt that they are liberals and that their opinions are colored by the liberal ideology embraced by that party.

When I see both men listed on Ohio Citizen Action's "Reforming Ohio's Democracy" report, I have no doubt that the media is liberal and pushes that agenda through nefarious means.

With proposed "reforms" like the "full public financing of judicial campaigns" and tightening campaign contribution limits, there is no doubt in my mind that there is in fact no such thing as "non-partisan" nor a "moderate."

Beware.

Well I noticed no one on the RightAngleBlog team posted anything on the Foley problem, so I figured I would throw in my two cents. I think the Republicans are getting what they deserve, yet at the same time this clearly demonstrates the fraudulence of the Democrat Party.

When you look the other way concerning norms and virtue, you are bound to be bitten by sin. Maybe Republicans will begin to realize homosexuality is a mental disorder and not normal. Maybe they will wake up and stop hindering these folks by furthering the radical gay agenda of misinformation. Maybe they'll realize you cannot compromise with the truth.

When it comes to the Democrats, did anyone expect they wouldn’t attack Foley because he was a homosexual? If you did you’d be a fool. Democrats like Republicans will eat their own and it appears quicker than most. Note this is the Party, along with the ACLU, that wants to put a homosexual in every Boy Scout troop yet thinks its wrong for a homosexual congressman to engage male congressional teen pages.

Let’s hope our Mr. Boehner does the right thing based on our Ohio norms rather than Republican standards.

COLUMBUS, OH 10/5/06 -- Once again Jennifer Brunner, Democrat candidate for Secretary of State, has proven that she'll do anything -- even mislead Ohio newspapers -- to get elected. Recently, when talking to editorial boards of major
Ohio newspapers, Brunner said that the 2004 presidential election was not stolen. Yet when trying to raise campaign cash, Brunner tells out-of-state donors whatever it takes to get a few extra bucks - even if it means talking down
Ohio's election system and advancing the notion that evil-doers "stole" the 2004 presidential election.

During her Columbus Dispatch editorial board meeting, Brunner stated, "I've seen no evidence" that the 2004 election was stolen in
Ohio. To the Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial board Brunner stated, "All indications show that Bush won
Ohio in 2004… Can I say that the election was stolen? Absolutely not."

But in a recent fundraising plea e-mailed to supporters, Jennifer Brunner wrote, "2004 left
Ohio hoping for free, fair, open and honest elections. It is now time for us to think ahead. A much heralded article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to the necessity of electing someone the caliber of Jennifer Brunner hio's [sic] next Secretary of State."

The article that Brunner endorses and recommends is from the left-wing publication "Rolling Stone" and is entitled "Was the 2004 Election Stolen?". Throughout the article, Kennedy slanders Ohio's election process by claiming that there were "massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies in
Ohio" and that there were "broad, methodical and illegal tactics in the 2004 election." After Kennedy's onslaught of fallacious allegations, he erroneously concluded "after carefully examining the evidence, I've become convinced that the president's party mounted a massive, coordinated campaign to subvert the will of the people in 2004."

"Apparently Jennifer Brunner's years as a Columbus-insider have warped her perception of reality and she's willing to say anything to get elected," Greg Hartmann said. "Brunner can't have it both ways, either she believes in the conspiracy theories or not. Saying one thing to editorial boards and the direct opposite to donors in an attempt to raise money raises some very serious questions about her honesty and her credibility."

We've also heard that Hartmann got the Sun Newspaper Endorsement today.

At Gov. Mitch Daniels’s urging, the General Assembly voted this year to lease the Toll Road to Spanish-Australian consortium Cintra-Macquarie for 75 years. In return, the state pocketed $3.8 billion.

Berry noted the money will be used over the next 10 years to improve infrastructure so that Indiana can “truly earn the title of the Crossroads of America.”

Berry was also proud that his office – assisted by consultant Capital Cities – negotiated reduced fees on the investment, saving $647,000 a year.

He expects an average 5.25 percent return on the money, which has been invested in a variety of ways via three investment strategies. The state is prohibited from playing the stock market.

The performance of all 22 investment mandates will be reviewed quarterly.

So far, the state has earned $50 million in interest on the money.

Holy cow $50 million. You could cut taxes with that money! Why is it so risky in Ohio, yet acceptable in Indiana.
